Try KLAL , Lakeland , there are some Migs up there behind a fence near the flight school , a 734 , an air side museum with an F-14 to a DC -3 to a 727 , A306R , , plus check out the airport along 408 in Orlando , it's maybe a municipal field now , but they do get some bbjs in there .
Between KMCO and KLAL is another Air Museum , one that puts you in a DC-3 I believe , it's on I 4 / Interstate 4 . In Daytona area is the fly in community , big enough to support a 701B , called Spruce Creek. Then 120 North Jacksonville Road in Ocala is JumboLair - Home to N707JT - John Travolta home . You won't see the 707 there as it sits in Miami with a new partner - IRS . You may see his other aircraft on the runway .

> Many thanks for your prompt reply and the useful information. I shall be based for several days at St Simon's Island, alongside KSSI, so KBQK is pretty close. I called into St Augustine for a very brief visit 2 years ago and I seem to remember a pretty good café there and plenty of GA. I also plan to re-visit KSFB as we have some time in Orlando but KOPF and KMIA are too far south for this visit. We might have time to visit the pan handle (depends how far along Crestview is) but we have a fairly tight itinerary from Orlando back to Atlanta and I do want to take in Warner Robins Air & Space Museum.

>> Grumman facility there , but north of JAX in georgia is KBQK , up here are atleast 5 intact 707 Frames , at KSFB , this is your biggest Boneyard around , then there is KOPF another Boneyard , KMIA has many MRO facilities with dozens of frames waiting on paint and work. In the pan handle in the town of Crestview is a very New scrapping operation , Tom Sikes airport .
